Hats off for a very nice gesture.
Dan Gilbert, majority owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and his partner, have decided to give more than 1,000 NBA championship rings for everyone from LeBron James down to the janitors, security guards, ticket takers and the guy who sold hot dogs at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com reports. The Cavaliers won the NBA Championship earlier this year.
Cleveland.com adds that "of course, not every team employee will get the same, diamond crusted ring that's going to rest on the fingers of James, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and other players from last season."
Ditto for virtually all employees of the Lake Erie Monsters, the American Hockey League team Gilbert owns that won the league championship last season, Cleveland.com reports. The employees involved with Monsters' operations, including some who work for the Columbus Blue Jackets (the Monsters' NHL affiliate) will get rings, Vardon writes.
